I'm sorry, but this is just really stupid. As terrible as it sounds, they are both equally responsible for this. War2 is becoming WWE. It's not about the actual fights but all about the drama. Yawn...
First off, Van is Van. Not an excuse nor am I trying to enable his behavior but every single person on here knows how Van is. So, let's just establish that now. Van talks shit and always has. Guess who he talks more shit to? People that let it get to them. Who is going to talk shit to someone who literally 100% doesn't respond? It gets too boring. It will get old eventually and it will die out like anything else.
When you continue to argue with him and give him a reaction, then you have just fueled the fire because he is now getting the response that he wanted.
Next, when you are on an online game and you are Facebook friends with people, speak to them on discord, and let everyone know that you are a woman, you have to be able to identify the crowd and understand the potential consequences. We are 30+ year old grown adults still playing a 20 year old game. Know your audience. Regardless of what everything should be like, in an ideal world, you know that it isn't always going to be that way. A rich white man (yes, other people race/gender would qualify) doesn't walk around in the ghetto for a reason. SHOULD he be able to? Of course, but that just isn't reality. You can fight it and try to do it, but don't complain when you are robbed, shot, and have a dildo up your ass for being ignorant.
Van is at fault as well for Facebook. Don't friend people or make your profile available without knowing there could be consequences. This is not the first time Facebook has been an issue on here.
Questions- Why was van not squelched whenever she would log in? Pretty useful tool. Why did Baby choose to participate with van on discord instead of muting? Why didn't Baby smurf? At least until the heat dies down. There were multiple tools that were not utilized to negate the situation.
She knew what was going on, yet continuously put herself in a vulnerable position because she told me she shouldn't have to change those things and shouldn't have to take his abuse. Yes, but SHOULDN'Ts aren't always reality, as I mentioned above. Baby, you can try to change the world 1 Warcrafter at a time but know that there will be resistance, like anything else. Baby, when you don't know how to handle the situation, this happens. Don't be ignorant. Be an adult.
Van, you too. Leave the girl alone. Not everyone can talk or take as much shit as you. Sometimes you gotta chill a little bit. Everyone is on here to have fun, I think. It's fun to talk shit but sometimes I think it gets too easy to get carried away with it. Just let it go and move on. Don't get me wrong, I'd be pretty pissed if someone messaged my wife too but that is just because this has obviously gone too far already.
Nobody wins at this point and when you take a step back and look at the situation. Hopefully, like me, you are all thinking, this is really STUPID. There are a lot more important things in life. Get over it, both of you.
